Way, way, way too early to judge him.
Let's see how he does playing from the off.

I must of watched a totally different game. I thought he looked petrified and out of his depth. 

I was at the game and saw it the same as you.  Both Bowery (I accept that he was out of position) and Dawkins don't look anywhere near as good as Carruthers did when he featured last season, and I would go as far as saying that they didn't even look as good as Delfouneso.

I thought it was a Pen from the North stand and thought the only reason it wasn't given was he had knocked the ball too far forward.


I sit in the upper Holte and thought it was a penalty.

Pop down to Sutton Town guys.

I promise you will see better footballers than this clown.

$50k a year?

Makes an injured Richard Dunne look good value.

What are you basing your opinion on?

What is it that you have seen that gives you such a conclusive opinion?

I thought he looked alright. Didn't like the 'tumble' either, whether he was caught or tried to make something out of nothing, I just thought he should have been able to stay on his feet and been more decisive, got a shot away earlier.

But overall... moved the ball around okay, decent touch - and when he came on we actually looked very fluid across the front four. Movement was good, Benteke came into the game more, the switch allowed CNZ to move to the right, from where he nearly scored; won a penalty; played the ball in to the win the free-kick; scored the free kick.

I don't have massive expectations of a lad we've loaned for six months but I don't see any reason why he can't make a contribution from the bench, at least. The type of player who can come on and stretch defences in the last 25-30 mins.

I don't want to see any more dives like the one yesterday, but other than that a decent enough cameo on his debut.

He get a pass to do what he likes against Southampton.

I think hes a free agent in the summer so a real chance to earn himself a contract here if he does well.

statement ;)   I just think with us being probably 10 points in front of them and maybe around 10 games to go , they won have to win 4 more games than Villa in the ten games left.

Agreed but he did look promising.

He looked pretty quick and seemed to move the ball along quite nicely.

I would like to see how is in beating a man and putting some crosses in.

I sit in L2 in the lower Holte and he had lost control of the ball before the contact was made, although from where the ref was positoned it would have been difficult to have seen this and judge that contact was made. Seen them given before!

What was the actual point of this signing? We're paying Spurs and he's not even making the bench. Why do the Villa feel they have a duty to take on Spurs rejects( Walker aside)  Annoying
